What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Those pliers are like 20 years old btw, lol one of the few things that has lasted from there, my heat gun from there that had maybe 15 minutes on it died the other day the fan crept up to ludicrous speed and then imploded in a sparkly smokey death haha, had to get the wifes hair dryer out to finish shrinking some heat shrink

I’ve had one of their heat guns for years, still going strong. I think some stuff is hit or miss.

I got a Dewalt heat gun it seems to hold up pretty well I had it for about 4 years now.

ya I have had mine for quit a while but it was barely used, I suspect that the last time I used it I kinda tossed it in my tool box a little too hard and it probably broke something inside.

All you need is some harbor freight pliers like these, just grab the boot firmly and yank

Got a link or pn for what you used? Got both bulbs changed out and only one lights. Probably because I banged that shit around trying to get it back in lol.

More than likely you just have the non working bulb in backwards... led bulbs have polarity and will only work installed one way... ask me how I know this...pop it out and flip it around and stick it back in... should work then...

The trick is to get down in the hole and try to pull the boot off by hooking the end of it. Pulling on it makes it act like a Chinese finger trap. Twist it first to "break the seal". I recall years ago having some that were really stuck. I used the Harbor Freight angled-tip long needle-nosed pliers and cut the tip down so it fit down in the hole.

Bought some cheap plug pullers and they sucked. Keep them around for some unknown reason. Bought the long bent nose needle nose pliers and they work great. Like the double link design.

Trying to imagine this in my head. Lol

Picture a rubber hose slipped over a barbed fitting. If you grabbed the hose where it's not on the barb and pulled, the hose stretches and tightens around the barb. Of course, if you grabbed the hose on the part that is slipped over the barb, you pinch it tighter on the barb. If you reached forward to the very end of the hose towards the base of the barb and "hooked" the hose to pull it off, the hose will tend to expand ("bubble out"), loosening it off the barb. This is pretty much the effect you want when unsticking and removing the boot off the spark plug.
